Beyer, Victoria

Born in 1982, Chile

Resides and works in Germany

Victoria Beyer (pseudonym), born in 1982 in Chile and currently based in Germany, is a watercolor and oil painter specializing in figurative work. Her art combines scientific accuracy with creative expression, reflecting her dedication to botanical and nature-related subjects. Influenced by both historical botanical artists and her childhood experiences, Beyer’s work explores the representation of the natural world.

Her visual style is inspired by the Old Masters of botanical art, such as Georg Ehret and Maria Sibylla Merian, while incorporating modern pigments and contemporary compositions that border on hyperrealism. Her work is distinguished by the frequent use of magenta and violet tones, as well as the defined, dynamic movement of her line work.

Victoria Beyer’s work is a contemplative reflection on the botanical art of the Old Masters, offering an escape from the fast pace of modern life and evoking a longing for a quieter, simpler era. Nature is the central theme of her art, which engages with the botanical traditions of the Enlightenment while seeking to redefine the discipline. Through vibrant, colorful portraits, she transforms classical botanical subjects into contemporary, original, and dynamic representations.
